The problem is if you are using the same key to set somebody to AI with the master password, which you use to play your own turn, then the server will reject both turns and let you both stale, not executing any orders.
So, does this mean that if I use my password for playing my Mictlan position, and the master password for setting R'lyeh to AI only, then everything should be fine?

It is not about passwords, it is about game keys. If you are using the same installation of Dom3 with the same key, then you will both get a stale turn. You will have to use two different keys, that means that you have to use two copies of the game which you bought seperately. Yes, that may seem overly complicated.

Actually, that's impossible - no way will I pay $55 to finish off this game. It also implies that a game host requires two copies of the game, which I think is counter to the license agreement and Shrapnel/IW's intent. I know I've done this before, I just can't remember whether I did it from the server machine or client machine (although I think I did it from the client machine)

I guess the reasoning is that if more than one nation in a MP game is using the same key, then they are sharing a copy of the game, thus pirating it. If the master password would ignore that, then they could all just use the master password to play their turns. I don't really know, though.
